OBJECTIVE In this work, we attempted to develop a modified single-knot Kessler-loop lock suture technique and compare the biomechanical properties associated with this single-knot suture technique with those associated with the conventional modified Kessler and interlock suture techniques. METHODS In this experiment, a total of 18 porcine flexor digitorum profundus tendons were harvested and ...

  Purpose: Mesh technique is the standard for inguinal hernia repair because of less recurrence,   but it is inferior or equal to sutured technique in case of other post-operative complications   such as chronic pain. This clinical trial set out to compare these two techniques.   Materials and Methods: A total number of 322 cases of unilateral inguinal hernia in participants   older than 18 yea...

Aim: The primary author previously described his technique for periareolar closure in mastopexy using a pinwheel interlocking purse string with absorbable barbed suture and now reports the results of a retrospective photometric analysis comparing this technique with the same closure using Gortex® suture. This study is designed to compare the degree of areolar widening and safety profile of usin...
